ms access - Connect to ONLINE MySQL database using DSN ODBC 2 -


i facing problem: stackoverflow question except host doesn't seem have cpanel. since answer given in linked question cpanel related has not helped me. there can do?

it seems trying connect client machine located on desk mysql server instance located in service provider's server farm. you're trying use odbc "driver" mysql this, can @ mysql data ms access. (right?)

you need make sure particular hosting service provider allows remote connections mysql server instances. service providers, lowest-cost ones, prevent these remote connections using firewalls or other network isolation techniques. (they because it's easier control both security , performance when own web servers can connect mysql servers. ) if service provider prevents these connections matter of policy, you're going need service provider.

if allow remote connections, may need enable connections mysql database. that's "cpanel" function mentioned in other question about. cpanel popular control panel web application offered many commercial hosting service providers allow self-service control customers. if service provider doesn't use cpanel, you'll have find out use. if use cpanel, may still not allow remote mysql connections.

you have make sure client machine (the 1 running odbc) , user have authorization in mysql user database.

you put in service ticket service provider asking if offer remote mysql access. if "yes," can ask them advice , on setting up.

keep in mind opening mysql server instances direct connection on publicly accessible internet not ordinarily considered security practice. if data in database in way private (peoples' identity information, example) need careful indeed.
